I was making a big pasta dish one night and ended up having leftover noodles. From this slight mistake on my part I decided to try and make the best of it... also.... I wanted to look like a hero to my man by giving him a crap load of leftovers to take to work the next day and share with his co-workers. I went rummaging through the fridge and found that all we really had was various types of cheese.. so it made sense to make some Frankenstein Mac N Cheese!
Keep in mind that since this meal was literally thrown together, the measurements below are more estimates; you can add a little more or a little less of each ingredient and everything should still taste fine.
Frankenstein Mac N Cheese
Ingredients:
2 cups of leftover macaroni noodles
1/2 lb of monterey jack cheese
2 deli slices of white american cheese
2 deli slices of sharp yellow american cheese
1/4 cup of feta cheese
1/4 teaspoon pepper (can add more to taste if needed)
1/4 teaspoon salt (can add more to taste if needed)
1/4 cup of chicken broth
1 tablespoon olive oil
dash of hot sauce
This recipe is quite easy..
- Cook the noodles according to the box directions
- drain noodles and put back on stop top over low heat
- add chicken stock and olive oil
- then start to add the cheese- add monterey jack and both types of american first, allow it to slowly melt
- then add the feta and salt and pepper
- cook until the cheese is melted but be sure not to let it burn
- splash in some hot sauce at the end and you are all set
- of course taste it and then adjust as necessary
Enjoy!
Ok....THIS LOOKS AMAZING! I'm always looking for a rockstar Mac n Cheese recipe...I love the idea of using feta too. Can't wait to try this one. Thanks LSAPPLE!
